Came across the following question in a met exam recently and had to guess.
Anyone know what a stylised
V is a symbol for (similar to the V in Virgin)?
I have researched various books and websites and cannot find ANY ref to this nor have I seen it operationally on any wx chart!
Two of the possible answers were Virga (but that does not have a symbol per se, only code
VIRGA). And the other possibility was given as volcanic ash (which does have a red symbol w/mtn spewing but that's for volcanic
eruption). Also, the code for that is self-evident -
VA.
I have looked at both FAA and ICAO met textbooks and none of them have a single V symbol.
Cannot recall the other answers to choose from but this one stumped me and I'm even more curious now that I can find no ref to it!
Thanks in advance to any climate/met gurus out there.....
